Sw. Satchidananda

But this does not include support in the person’s mind [such as the motive behind the thought, etc.], as that is not the object of samyama.

Bryant

That knowledge is not accompanied by its object, since this object is not the object [of the yogi’s mind].

Taimni

But not also of other mental factors which support the mental image for that is not the object (of Samyama).

Aranya

The Prop (Or Basis) Of The Notion Does Not Get Known Because That Is Not The Object Of The (Yogin’s ) Observation.
